Last fall, when I saw he was booked for WizardWorld Cleveland - which is in February - I knew something was wrong financially. At his age, that trip and climate could literally kill him.

At this point I kinda assume Iger and Disney are quietly involved bts. If he dies in this morass while Infinity War breaks every record, the Disney ownership of Marvel will be tarnished and start a new wave of "101 creators that Disney exploited and left to die" articles.

Kinda makes the idea of Lee filming rapid fire cameos for the next dozen Marvel Studios movies less palatable, doesn't it? Let's hope those were done under better circumstances.

Personally...I find it extremely hard to believe that Stan would willingly/knowingly sign away his creative properties, his name, & likeness given his personal experience dealing with exactly those issues that Artists, Writers, & Creators had in the industry working for DC and/or Marvel.

Linda Sanchez, Lee’s former nurse and in-home caregiver, said she witnessed verbal abuse and financial manipulation, both by Morgan as well as by Lee’s 68-year-old daughter, JC Lee, whom the father describes as “a vulnerable woman” who is “an easy target for predators.”

Sanchez says JC “screams terrible, abusive things at her father” and blames him for her problems. The nurse also says that, although she has not witnessed direct physical abuse, “I have noted numerous bruises to the right side of Mr. Lee’s body which were unexplained.”

“Mr. Lee has told me privately that he is giving up, after his daily harassment, and that he believes he has nothing left to live for but to ‘go to sleep’ and ‘die,’ ” Sanchez said in her testimony. “As a result of everything described above, Mr. Lee falls into very dark and depressed moods because he doesn’t have the strength or will to fight anymore.”

The legal documents claim Morgan took control of Lee’s business affairs and personal life in February and isolated him from the people Lee was closest to and trusted the most, including his executive assistant of 20 years Michael Kelly.

“I called Mr. Lee to arrange to meet with him but was told by Morgan that he would not come to his office at POW! and I would be required to come to his home,” Kelly said. “I went to his home to meet with him and Morgan and a bodyguard named Leo were present throughout my meeting with Mr. Lee … I was not allowed to meet with Mr. Lee privately.”

Lallas alleges Lee was held hostage in his own home. Morgan hired a security guard to block access to the Oriole Way residence, changed all of Lee’s phone numbers and tightly controlled his communications. “I was not permitted to meet or speak with Mr. Lee,” Lallas said. “The Morgan group also took control of all email communications.”
